It's time to take stock of your current wardrobe. Do you feel like it doesn't quite reflect who you are, and would you like to completely revamp it? To do so, you need to find your style, so you can buy clothes that truly represent you and highlight your figure. Here are a few tips to finally discover your own fashion style and select pieces that match your desires.
Choosing colors for your new style
When searching for your personal style, start by picking out a few colors you love and enjoy seeing on your clothes. Whether you prefer neutral or bold shades, don't hesitate to go for unique colors like red or green, which can really enhance your complexion. When shopping for new pieces, keep your chosen colors in mind—they’ll help you narrow down your selection in store.
To define your colors, look at the ones you wear most often, and those you like the least. This way, you'll know which shades you prefer and which ones you find hard to mix and match.
Accepting and loving yourself as you are
There's no need to buy an outfit while promising yourself you'll lose a few kilos to fit into it. Most of the time, those pieces end up forgotten in the back of your closet, and when the weight is finally gone, you might not even like them anymore.
Instead, choose clothes in your current size that flatter you and help you appreciate yourself just as you are right now. Later, if you do lose weight, you can always treat yourself to new pieces in your new size.
Learn to play with your body shape by discovering what highlights your figure and makes you feel beautiful. Feeling good in your clothes is essential for self-confidence and for finding your own unique style.
Trendy tops catch your eye, but you don’t dare try them on? Take the plunge and see how that must-have top looks on you. If it doesn’t suit you, at least you won’t be left wondering for months, and you’ll have your answer. It’s by trying things out that you discover your look.
Sometimes, certain trends really appeal to us, even if they don’t suit us—and sometimes it’s the opposite. Fashion is full of surprises.
How to try on clothes to find your own style?
In front of the mirror, it’s easy to feel a bit lost or unsure. When building your personal style, trying on clothes you’re not used to wearing is a key moment. That’s why it’s important to ask yourself a few questions when you slip something on:
- How do I feel in this piece? Is it comfortable?
- Could I wear this today? Does it easily go with the rest of my wardrobe?
- What about care instructions? Where was this piece made?
These questions will help you decide if a piece is worth buying, based on how often you’ll actually wear it.
